Notes
Store in the refrigerator in a sealed jar for up to 2 weeks.
Mandolin safety: be sure to use the hand guard as red onions can be slippery!Optional add-ins include thinly sliced jalapeños, whole garlic cloves or a pinch of sugar.

Vinegar Swap: I like to use red wine vinegar for a slightly deeper flavor but apple cider vinegar is milder and slightly sweeter.
